Appearance

In Season 2 onwards, his design changes very little. Alan has slightly more round/oval shaped eyes than his original design, and he appears to be colored brighter.

In the early reel, Alan seemed to have a nose and freckles, looking more baby-like, but this was taken out when the official series started.

Personality

Alan is considered to be "perfect" - he has got good looks, friendly demeanor, and a nice attitude. He has a high-pitched voice, mainly because he is filled with helium. Alan sacrifices himself selflessly in the need of other people and seems to always have the positive outlook on things regardless of how negative they might appear to other people. Even though many people congratulate Alan on his deeds, almost everyone at Elmore Junior High is disgusted by his relationship with Carmen.

Alan's do-gooder personality annoys Gumball so much that in "The Saint," Gumball sets out to prove Alan has a dark side by any means necessary; true to his record of selflessness, Alan eventually pretends to be extremely annoyed by squeaking footsteps simply to appease Gumball. However, Gumball was later proven right in "The Vision," in which Alan is revealed to have extremely manipulative, egotistical and power-hungry inner thoughts. He can outright take advantage of people's vulnerability to rise in power. The episode also shows his intense hatred for sad people and the evil things he plans to do with them in his "Happy Camps."

Trivia

Alan can propel himself through the air without any visible assistance.

Most people who have never seen the show before mistake Alan for a female, possibly because of his eyelashes, which are more common on female characters in animation, and also because of his high voice, which, again, is caused by helium.

The fourteenth was in "The Vision," when he was typing his new world domination plan and Gumball came in and popped him.

The fifthteenth was in "The Anybody," when Darwin attempted to find Clayton in the cinema and expose him, in which Darwin pops Alan.

In almost every photo shot Alan appears in, his facial features look very realistic and human-like instead of his original face. However, in "The Storm," his pictures, especially with Carmen, shown him with his usual appearance.

It is revealed in "The Photo" that Alan anonymously donates all of his allowance to charity, and never tells anyone about it, because he cares very much about the cause.

It is revealed in "The Storm" that whatever he eats gets turned into air.

If he has a string or not varies in some episodes.

In "The Uploads," it is heavily implied by Bobert that Alan is not really friends with Gumball.

In "The Saint," it is suggested that he is unable to be annoyed or angered by anything.

This can be contradicted, though, because in "The Storm," he stares angrily at Gumball and Carmen when she tries to test their relationship, and he gets angry at Gumball when he tries to talk to Masami, and yells at him to "shut up." He also gets mad at Gumball for accusing him of attacking Principal Brown in "The Mystery," gets angry with him again in "The Faith," and fights his classmates in "The Candidate."
